  1. I'm not sure if that's new or is a part of the original banner.
  2. I'm pretty sure they did that. I think it may have been only for the 2000 season but I'm not sure.
  3. Agreed. The Blue Jays have a two-tier system (a "Level of Excellence" for the team's great players; you get your number retired if you go into the HoF as a Jay). The Level of Excellence had the players' numbers on it until it was re-done last year, and rightfully so. There's no need to emphasize the number if you're just "honouring" it.Related, I wish teams who had two-tier systems would have specific requirements like the Jays. There's no reason why Nieuwendyk and MacInnis shouldn't have their numbers retired. The way the Flames do it seems so arbitrary. The Phillies and Flyers have a tiered system too. The team HOF, which honors players but doesnt include retiring their numbers. that is saved for players that enter the League HOF, which is why it took so long for mark howe's #2 to get retired, he only was recently entered into NHL HOF.. I think that's dumb. If there's even a chance that you may want to retire a guy's number, at least hold it out of circulation for a while so 20 other players don't wear it before it's retired. The whole point of retiring a number is that it's become forever associated with that player, or because nobody will ever be able to do honor t that number like the guy for whom it's getting retired, etc. It's stupid that numbers get retired after other players wear them. The HOF thing is stupid as well - if Adam Oates makes the HOF, does 77 get retired? Granted Mark Howe was a pretty big part of some good Flyers teams, but they obviously didn't think he was number-retired worthy when he left. Seeing as Oates is in the HHOF, I could see it being retired by the Caps but the Caps fan in me sees Bondra and Kolzig retired before Oates.
  4. I'm pretty sure it's either TD Garden or United Center
  5. Wow so in fact they did change the look of the Stars retired number banners.
  6. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Anaheim-Mighty-Ducks-PAUL-KARIYA-Authentic-CCM-Game-jersey-RARE-NUMBER-STYLE-/171198955354?pt=U_Hockey_Fan_Shop&hash=item27dc40bf5a Number style NEVER worn on this jersey, IIRC
  7. I'd be fine if the Capitals did the same thing the Bruins do. It would look a little nicer, IMO
  8. I think it would look a lot better with the logo at the top instead. Since their logo basically is a wordmark, I don't see the benefit of writing out "WASHINGTON CAPITALS". I agree and it would look a hell of a lot better if they altered the colors of the banners AND eliminated the two "Regular Season Eastern Conference" and the "Presidents' Trophy" Banners.
  9. It's a little hard to see but it seems as if the Bullets lone championship banner has been changed...again
  10. This is a little lame. The Wild Card banners that is... UPDATED: Includes all banners since the Orioles move to Baltimore
  11. The Texans' 2011 banner that's not visible on the site: Tampa Bay Rays:
  12. Talk about a lame one. Found this ages ago and have been meaning to post it.
  13. That always was a fashion jersey like the gold 49ers, yellow Packers, silver Raiders, and navy Dolphins that were all out at various times in the 1990s and 2000s. On ESPN NFL 2K5 it was listed as their alternate jersey. If I'm not mistaken, 2k5 had a few of these jerseys for teams as alternates, but were never more than fashion jerseys, like this cardinals one. I seem to remember that they had a bizarre yellow alternate for the Vikings... Yup exactly, I almost used that very example, but started to doubt myself that it actually happened. As well as a Redskins Yellow/ gold one as well
  14. Retiring 42 made sense and still does to this day. I feel the same about Gretzky's 99 being retired league wide for the NHL. I don't feel the same about Jordan, however.
  15. That's because there aren't any. If you look at this picture below on the left side of the scoreboard, the logos are the representation of the Division/NL titles. It uses the logo from the time and it has the yeah (02, 07, etc.) attached in a circle on the logo. The World Series title is above the Miller Lite logo on the right. Odd because I KNOW that there was a World Series Banner as well as a 2002 NL West banner. I remember that because I was there in Arizona in 2003 and saw them but I guess they went to the new format sometime before the 2007 season...
  16. You know, the one banner I have been trying to find over and over again with no luck is the Arizona Diamondbacks 2002 and 2007 NL West Banners as well as the original 2001 World Series Champions banner....
  17. The numbers in the squares are all the Celtics retired numbers.
  18. Here are some more... Now on these, I think it would make a lot more sense if they put all of these together in chronological order..
  19. Here are a bunch of random ones I have found over the years... (Let me just say, I think the Capitals need to seriously reconsider the divisional banners to one much like Boston and REMOVE the Regular Season Eastern Conference Championship banners)
  20. Well, it sounds a bit busy but I will let the pictures do the talking.
  21. Obvious fake. The numbers are a part of the current set.
  22. Well we can be guaranteed that Alabama will NOT get 3 rings.
  23. I am wondering the same thing. Did anything carryover from when they were in San Diego?
  24. I find it odd that there is no distinction to the National Championship banners. It's like everything there is one equal accomplishment. Why blow a lot of money on a fancy banner that the NCAA's going to take away from you later? Uhhhh....which one are you referring to?
